On Sunday June 7th 2015 we had a special outdoor mass at the school to celebrate our 60th anniversary at St. Finian’s school. Fr. Daly said the mass for us and the school choir sang our favourite hymns. Teachers , school staff and pupils helped with readings and prayers. It was a lovely sunny day and many past pupils and parents came for the mass. Happy 60th St. Finians. Here are some photos ….
It’s here! The school has made another wonderful achievement after receiving an Active School Flag. This is a very highly sought after award and everybody at St. Finian’s is very proud. An Active assessor visited St. Finian’s on Tuesday morning and all the active reps along with Mr.Shevlin showed him all our active efforts to date through, pictures, displays, videos, PowerPoints and active demonstrations at break time. He was amazed at all the activities we had in place at school. A big thank you to all the people who helped out with the initiative, from the hardworking pupils, teachers, coaches and of course the parents who helped greatly with our ‘WOW’, ‘Be Active’ and ‘Get Fit in February’ programmes. We will formally present and raise the flag at our Graduation Mass day on Wednesday 24th of June!
Super job everybody!
“Super Active St. Finian’s!”

The pupils of 3rd and 4th class decided that a school walk, with seniors walking with juniors, was a good way to have the whole school active and enjoy some fresh air together. 5th and 6th class thought it would be even better if the whole school recreated the walk made 60 years ago from the old school to St. Finian’s to mark our schools’ 60th birthday this year. Off we set to the old school house where we took photos of the present day pupils. We then walked in the footsteps of pupils and teachers from 60 years ago back to St. Finian’s. Here we also took photos in front of our school just as they did 60 years ago. Enjoy our photos …..
Day 2 of Active Schools Week and all classes took part in the HULAHOOPATHON. First came the individual class competitions with the winners through to the junior and senior finals. The junior final was very exciting and everyone was amazed at the skill displayed by our younger pupils. It came down to a spectacular finish between two senior infants girls. They really set the standard for the senior final. Well done girls ! Here are some photos….
Some action from the senior final ………
